Verse:
A (x4)
We are liars like the summertime
E (x4)
Like the spring we are such fools
G (x4)
Like fall we are false prophets
D (x4)
Like winter we are cruel
(Repeat Verse)
A (x4)
I don't know what's wrong with us
E (x4)
They just made us this way
G (x4)
There's a hole in you and me
D (x4)
That pulls us together

Chorus:
C[355433](x2) Dm[557755] (x2) A[577655] (x4)
And I don't know where we belong
C Dm A
I think we grew under a bad sun
C Dm A
I know we're not like everyone
C Dm A
You and me, we grew under a bad sun
(Repeat Verse x2)
Every day you bring me pain
And we savor it like rain
We hold it on our tongues
Just like wine
Someday back when we were young
I guess something just went wrong
The two of us are hung
From the same twisted rope
(Repeat Chorus)
